Andre Iguodala’s race-related comments cause stir in locker room

Andre Iguodala created an “awkward” situation Friday night with some controversial race-related comments in the locker room following the Warriors’ loss to the Timberwolves.

After a reporter asked the Warriors swingman if he had known coach Steve Kerr planned to rest Iguodala and three Warriors starters in Saturday’s game against the Spurs, Iguodala told reporters (via ESPN). “Nope, no clue. I do what master say.”

Frustrated by the 103-102 loss that included several calls that didn’t go the Warriors’ way, Iguodala later dropped a couple of other controversial remarks. When a reporter asked what had caused the loss, Iguodala said, “We gotta score more than the other team. Yep, they want dumb n—s, so I’m going to give y’all a dumb n—.”

Iguodala continued on his regrettable theme when asked if there were other issues beyond just the team’s offense. “What would dumb n—s say? ‘Just play harder. Figure it out. Change gonna come.’ You know what we used to say. Change gonna come.”

Don’t weep for Washington, though. Coach Romar will reload with a top-five Cheap NCAA Jerseys recruiting Cheap New York Giants Jerseys class, including small forward Michael Porter Jr., the top overall recruit in the 2017 ESPN 100.

This is more than a bump in the road the Cavs will suddenly get over — at least in terms of the standings. FiveThirtyEight’s NBA prediction model gives the Celtics a whopping 70-percent chance to capture the top seed with Cleveland’s odds coming in at 29 percent (The Raptors and Wizards Cheap Moto X Jerseys are both virtually out of the race at one and less than one percent, respectively.)
